# Python Client
The Python client package contains generated MXAccess Gateway protobuf
bindings, the `mxgateway` package scaffold, and the `mxgw-py` test CLI
scaffold. The package uses the shared proto inputs documented in
`../../docs/client-proto-generation.md` so gateway and client contracts stay in
sync.
## Layout
```text
clients/python/
pyproject.toml
generate-proto.ps1
src/mxgateway/
src/mxgateway/generated/
src/mxgateway_cli/
tests/
```
`src/mxgateway/generated` contains code produced by `grpc_tools.protoc`. Do not
edit generated files by hand.
## Regenerating Protobuf Bindings
Run generation after the shared `.proto` files or the Python output path
changes:
```powershell
./generate-proto.ps1
```
The script uses the Python tool path recorded in
`../../docs/toolchain-links.md`.
## Build And Test
Run the Python checks from `clients/python`:
```powershell
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m pytest
python -m pip wheel . --no-deps --wheel-dir "$env:TEMP\mxgateway-python-wheel"
```
The scaffold tests import the generated gateway and worker stubs and exercise
the deterministic CLI version output.
## CLI
The scaffold CLI exposes version information:
```powershell
mxgw-py version --json
```
Additional commands are implemented with the async client/session wrapper work.
